BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The Wnt pathway is an evolutionarily conserved growth pathway inmulticellular organisms that regulates animal development and playscritical roles in human disease. Signaling through the Wnt pathway isregulated by secreted Wnt proteins, which act as morphogens tomediate 1) cell fate determination and differentiation required forestablishing the body plan, neural patterning, and organogenesis, 2)cell motility and polarity, 3) cell proliferation and apoptosis, and 4)stem cell maintenance.

In Wnt signaling, the transcriptional coactivator, beta-catenin, isconstitutively degraded in the absence of a Wnt signal thereby allowinga cell to maintain low cytoplasmic levels of beta-catenin and keepingthe Wnt pathway in the “off” position. Degradation of beta-cateninrequires its recruitment into a complex consisting primarily of Glycogensynthase kinase (Gsk3), Casein Kinase 1 (CK1), Protein phosphatase 2A(PP2A), Axin, and the tumor suppressor adenomatous polyposis coli (APC).Within this complex, beta-catenin is phosphorylated by CK1, which primesit for further phosphorylation by Gsk3. Phosphorylated beta-catenin isrecognized by the SCF (Skip1, Cullen, F-box) ubiquitin ligase complex,of which the specificity F-box determinant is beta-TRCP, and targetedfor polyubiquitination and subsequent degradation by the proteasome. TheWnt pathway is turned “on” upon binding of Wnt ligands to the Frizzledfamily of receptors and the coreceptor family members LDLreceptor-related protein 5 or 6 (LRP5/6), which results in translocationof the beta-catenin destruction complex to the membrane throughinteraction of Axin with LRP5/6. The interaction between Axin and LRP5/6is promoted by the phosphorylation of LRP5/6 by CK1 and Gsk3, andAxin-LRP5/6 interaction results in inhibition of beta-cateninphosphorylation and degradation. Because beta-catenin is continuallysynthesized in cells, its cytoplasmic concentration increases, and itenters the nucleus and forms a complex with the TCF/LEF1 family oftranscriptional factors (as well as the nuclear proteins BCL9 andPygopus) to regulate a Wnt-specific transcriptional program.

Our bodies are composed of numerous cell types specialized to performspecific functions. These specialized or differentiated cells arederived from a small group of stem and progenitor cells that have thecapacity to divide asymmetrically, allowing them to regeneratethemselves, and also giving rise to a daughter cell that candifferentiate into cell types characteristic of various organs in ourbodies. It is recognized that diseases like diabetes, Parkinson'sdisease, and heart disease are caused by death or dysfunction ofdifferentiated cells in tissues where stem cells are limiting. Thesediseases may be caused by loss of stem cell activity and/ormisregulation of critical signaling pathways in stem cells residing intissues such as the pancreas, brain, and heart. The Wnt pathway is a keyregulator of stem cell behavior and viability, and modulation of thispathway presents a method of treating diseases associated withdysfunctional stem cell activity. For example, activation of the Wntpathway has been associated with heart failure, and inhibition of Wntsignaling has been shown to improve recovery after a heart attack inanimal models. Thus, Wnt inhibitors could have broad applications inregenerative (stem cell) medicine for the treatment of major humandiseases such as heart disease.

Cancer has been shown to be stem cell related disease, resulting fromfailure of cells to respond to normal cues to stop proliferating. Wntsignaling is also a critical pathway that drives the uncontrolledproliferation of many solid tumors in cancer stem cells (CSCs). Thus,therapies that down-regulate the activity of Wnt signaling, afundamental pathway in CSCs, would be effective in the treatment ofcancer. Such inhibitors would result in a long-term therapeutic benefitbecause the cells capable of repopulating the tumor would be killed.Most notably, there is clear evidence that colorectal cancer arises frommutations in the stem cell compartment, and it has been demonstratedthat all major solid cancers in humans (e.g. melanoma, hepatocellularcarcinoma, and breast cancer) have abnormal Wnt signaling. Thus, Wntinhibitors may be useful in the treatment of most of the major solidcancers in humans.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION I. Definitions

The abbreviations used herein have their conventional meaning within thechemical and biological arts.

Where substituent groups are specified by their conventional chemicalformulae, written from left to right, they equally encompass thechemically identical substituents that would result from writing thestructure from right to left, e.g., —CH₂O— is equivalent to —OCH₂—.

The term “alkyl,” by itself or as part of another substituent, means,unless otherwise stated, a straight (i.e. unbranched) or branched chain,or combination thereof, which may be fully saturated, mono- orpolyunsaturated and can include di- and multivalent radicals, having thenumber of carbon atoms designated (i.e. C₁-C₁₀ means one to tencarbons). Examples of saturated hydrocarbon radicals include, but arenot limited to, groups such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl,n-butyl, t-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, cyclohexyl, (cyclohexyl)methyl,cyclopropylmethyl, homo logs and isomers of, for example, n-pentyl,n-hexyl, n-heptyl, n-octyl, and the like. An unsaturated alkyl group isone having one or more double bonds or triple bonds. Examples ofunsaturated alkyl groups include, but are not limited to, vinyl,2-propenyl, crotyl, 2-isopentenyl, 2-(butadienyl), 2,4-pentadienyl,3-(1,4-pentadienyl), ethynyl, 1- and 3-propynyl, 3-butynyl, and thehigher homo logs and isomers.

The term “alkylene” by itself or as part of another substituent means adivalent radical derived from an alkyl, as exemplified, but not limited,by —CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂—. Typically, an alkyl (or alkylene) group will havefrom 1 to 24 carbon atoms, with those groups having 10 or fewer carbonatoms being preferred in the present invention. A “lower alkyl” or“lower alkylene” is a shorter chain alkyl or alkylene group, generallyhaving eight or fewer carbon atoms.

The term “heteroalkyl,” by itself or in combination with another term,means, unless otherwise stated, a stable straight or branched chain, orcyclic hydrocarbon radical, or combinations thereof, consisting of atleast one carbon atoms and at least one heteroatom selected from thegroup consisting of O, N, P, Si and S, and wherein the nitrogen andsulfur atoms may optionally be oxidized and the nitrogen heteroatom mayoptionally be quaternized. The heteroatom(s) O, N, P, S and Si may beplaced at any interior position of the heteroalkyl group or at theposition at which the alkyl group is attached to the remainder of themolecule. Examples include, but are not limited to, —CH₂—CH₂—O—CH₃,—CH₂—CH₂—NH—CH₃, —CH₂—CH₂—N(CH₃)—CH₃, —CH₂—S—CH₂—CH₃, —CH₂—CH₂,—S(O)—CH₃, —CH₂—CH₂—S(O)₂—CH₃, —CH═CHO—CH₃, —Si(CH₃)₃, —CH₂—CH═N—OCH₃,—CH═CH—N(CH₃)—CH₃, O—CH₃, —O—CH₂—CH₃ and —CN. Up to two heteroatoms maybe consecutive, such as, for example, —CH₂—NH—OCH₃ and —CH₂—O—Si(CH₃)₃.Similarly, the term “heteroalkylene” by itself or as part of anothersubstituent means a divalent radical derived from heteroalkyl, asexemplified, but not limited by, —CH₂—CH₂—S—CH₂—CH₂— and—CH₂—S—CH₂—CH₂—NH—CH₂—. For heteroalkylene groups, heteroatoms can alsooccupy either or both of the chain termini (e.g., alkylenoxy,alkylenedioxy, alkyleneamino, alkylenediamino, and the like). Stillfurther, for alkylene and heteroalkylene linking groups, no orientationof the linking group is implied by the direction in which the formula ofthe linking group is written. For example, the formula —C(O)₂R′—represents both —C(O)₂R′— and —R′C(O)₂—. As described above, heteroalkylgroups, as used herein, include those groups that are attached to theremainder of the molecule through a heteroatom, such as —C(O)R′,—C(O)NR′, —NR′R″, —OR′, —SR′, and/or —SO₂R′. Where “heteroalkyl” isrecited, followed by recitations of specific heteroalkyl groups, such as—NR′R″ or the like, it will be understood that the terms heteroalkyl and—NR′R″ are not redundant or mutually exclusive. Rather, the specificheteroalkyl groups are recited to add clarity. Thus, the term“heteroalkyl” should not be interpreted herein as excluding specificheteroalkyl groups, such as —NR′R″ or the like.

The terms “cycloalkyl” and “heterocycloalkyl”, by themselves or incombination with other terms, represent, unless otherwise stated, cyclicversions of “alkyl” and “heteroalkyl”, respectively, which can be asingle ring or multiple rings (preferably from 1 to 3 rings) which arefused together or linked covalently. Additionally, for heterocycloalkyl,a heteroatom can occupy the position at which the heterocycle isattached to the remainder of the molecule. Examples of cycloalkylinclude, but are not limited to, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl,1-cyclohexenyl, 3-cyclohexenyl, cycloheptyl, and the like. Examples ofheterocycloalkyl include, but are not limited to,1-(1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridyl), 1-piperidinyl, 2-piperidinyl,3-piperidinyl, 4-morpholinyl, 3-morpholinyl, tetrahydrofuran-2-yl,tetrahydrofuran-3-yl, tetrahydrothien-2-yl, tetrahydrothien-3-yl,1-piperazinyl, 2-piperazinyl, and the like. A “cycloalkylene” and“heterocycloalkylene” refer to a divalent radical derived fromcycloalkyl and heterocycloalkyl, respectively.

The terms “halo” or “halogen,” by themselves or as part of anothersubstituent, mean, unless otherwise stated, a fluorine, chlorine,bromine, or iodine atom. Additionally, terms such as “haloalkyl,” aremeant to include monohaloalkyl and polyhaloalkyl. For example, the term“halo(C₁-C₄)alkyl” is mean to include, but not be limited to,trifluoromethyl, 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl, 4-chlorobutyl, 3-bromopropyl, andthe like.

The term “aryl” means, unless otherwise stated, a polyunsaturated,aromatic, hydrocarbon substituent which can be a single ring or multiplerings (preferably from 1 to 3 rings) which are fused together or linkedcovalently. The term “heteroaryl” refers to aryl groups (or rings) thatcontain from one to four heteroatoms selected from N, O, and S, whereinthe nitrogen and sulfur atoms are optionally oxidized, and the nitrogenatom(s) are optionally quaternized. A heteroaryl group can be attachedto the remainder of the molecule through a carbon or heteroatom.Non-limiting examples of aryl and heteroaryl groups include phenyl,1-naphthyl, 2-naphthyl, 4-biphenyl, 1-pyrrolyl, 2-pyrrolyl, 3-pyrrolyl,3-pyrazolyl, 2-imidazolyl, 4-imidazolyl, pyrazinyl, 2-oxazolyl,4-oxazolyl, 2-phenyl-4-oxazolyl, 5-oxazolyl, 3-isoxazolyl, 4-isoxazolyl,5-isoxazolyl, 2-thiazolyl, 4-thiazolyl, 5-thiazolyl, 2-furyl, 3-furyl,2-thienyl, 3-thienyl, 2-pyridyl, 3-pyridyl, 4-pyridyl, 2-pyrimidyl,4-pyrimidyl, 5-benzothiazolyl, purinyl, 2-benzimidazolyl, 5-indolyl,1-isoquinolyl, 5-isoquinolyl, 2-quinoxalinyl, 5-quinoxalinyl,3-quinolyl, and 6-quinolyl. Substituents for each of the above notedaryl and heteroaryl ring systems are selected from the group ofacceptable substituents described below. “Arylene” and “heteroarylene”refers to a divalent radical derived from a aryl and heteroaryl,respectively.

The term “oxo” as used herein means an oxygen that is double bonded to acarbon atom.

Each of the above terms (e.g., “alkyl,” “heteroalkyl,” “aryl” and“heteroaryl”), unless otherwise noted, are meant to include bothsubstituted and unsubstituted forms of the indicated radical. Where asubstituent is R-substituted (e.g. an R¹⁶-substituted alkyl), thesubstituent may be substituted with one or more R groups as allowed bychemical valency rules where each R group is optionally different (e.g.an R¹⁶-substituted alkyl may include multiple R¹⁶ groups wherein eachR¹⁶ group is optionally different). Certain examples of substituents foreach type of radical are provided below.

Substituents for the alkyl and heteroalkyl radicals (including thosegroups often referred to as alkylenyl, alkenyl, heteroalkylene,heteroalkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, andheterocycloalkenyl) can be one or more of a variety of groups selectedfrom, but not limited to: —OR′, ═O, ═NR′, ═N—OR′, —NR′R″, —SR′,-halogen, —SiR′R″R′″, —OC(O)R′, —C(O)R′, —CO₂R′, —CONR′R″, —OC(O)NR′R″,—NR″C(O)R′, —NR′—C(O)NR″R′″, —NR″C(O)₂R′, —NR—C(NR′R″R′″)—NR″″,—NR—C(NR′R″)═NR′″, —S(O)R′, —S(O)₂R′, —S(O)₂NR′R″, —NRSO₂R′, —CN and—NO₂ in a number ranging from zero to (2m′+1), where m′ is the totalnumber of carbon atoms in such radical. R′, R″, R′″ and R″″ eachpreferably independently refer to hydrogen, substituted or unsubstitutedheteroalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl, substituted orunsubstituted heterocycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl (e.g.,aryl substituted with 1-3 halogens), substituted or unsubstituted alkyl,alkoxy or thioalkoxy groups, or arylalkyl groups. When a compound of theinvention includes more than one R group, for example, each of the Rgroups is independently selected as are each R′, R″, R″ and R″″ groupswhen more than one of these groups is present. When R′ and R″ areattached to the same nitrogen atom, they can be combined with thenitrogen atom to form a 4-, 5-, 6-, or 7-membered ring. For example,—NR′R″ is meant to include, but not be limited to, 1-pyrrolidinyl and4-morpholinyl. From the above discussion of substituents, one of skillin the art will understand that the term “alkyl” is meant to includegroups including carbon atoms bound to groups other than hydrogengroups, such as haloalkyl (e.g., —CF₃ and —CH₂CF₃) and acyl (e.g.,—C(O)CH₃, —C(O)CF₃, —C(O)CH₂OCH₃, and the like).

Similar to the substituents described for the alkyl radical,substituents for the aryl and heteroaryl groups are varied and areselected from, for example: halogen, —OR′, —NR′R″, —SR′, -halogen,—SiR′R″R′″, —OC(O)R′, —C(O)R′, —CO₂R′, —CONR′R″, —OC(O)NR′R″,—NR″C(O)R′, —NR′—C(O)NR″R″″, —NR″C(O)₂R′, —NR—C(NR′R″R′″)═NR″″,—NR—C(NR′R″)═NR′″, —S(O)R′, —S(O)₂R′, —S(O)₂NR′R″, —NRSO₂R′, —CN and—NO₂, —R′, —N₃, —CH(Ph)₂, fluoro(C₁-C₄)alkoxy, and fluoro(C₁-C₄)alkyl,in a number ranging from zero to the total number of open valences onthe aromatic ring system; and where R′, R″, R′″ and R″″ are preferablyindependently selected from hydrogen, substituted or unsubstitutedalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted heteroalkyl, substituted orunsubstituted cycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted heterocycloalkyl,substituted or unsubstituted aryl and substituted or unsubstitutedheteroaryl. When a compound of the invention includes more than one Rgroup, for example, each of the R groups is independently selected asare each R′, R″, R′″ and R″″ groups when more than one of these groupsis present.

Two of the substituents on adjacent atoms of the aryl or heteroaryl ringmay optionally form a ring of the formula -T-C(O)—(CRR′)_(q)—U—, whereinT and U are independently —NR—, —O—, —CRR′— or a single bond, and q isan integer of from 0 to 3. Alternatively, two of the substituents onadjacent atoms of the aryl or heteroaryl ring may optionally be replacedwith a substituent of the formula -A-(CH₂)_(r)—B—, wherein A and B areindependently —CRR′—, —O—, —NR—, —S—, —S(O)—, —S(O)₂—, —S(O)₂NR′— or asingle bond, and r is an integer of from 1 to 4. One of the single bondsof the new ring so formed may optionally be replaced with a double bond.Alternatively, two of the substituents on adjacent atoms of the aryl orheteroaryl ring may optionally be replaced with a substituent of theformula —(CRR′)_(s)—X′—(C″R′″)_(d)—, where s and d are independentlyintegers of from 0 to 3, and X′ is —O—, —NR′—, —S—, —S(O)—, —S(O)₂—, or—S(O)₂NR′—. The substituents R, R′, R″ and R′″ are preferablyindependently selected from hydrogen, substituted or unsubstitutedalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl, substituted orunsubstituted heterocycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, andsubstituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl.

As used herein, the term “heteroatom” or “ring heteroatom” is meant toinclude oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), sulfur (S), phosphorus (P), andsilicon (Si).

The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” is meant to include saltsof the active compounds which are prepared with relatively nontoxicacids or bases, depending on the particular substituents found on thecompounds described herein. When compounds of the present inventioncontain relatively acidic functionalities, base addition salts can beobtained by contacting the neutral form of such compounds with asufficient amount of the desired base, either neat or in a suitableinert solvent. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable base additionsalts include sodium, potassium, calcium, ammonium, organic amino, ormagnesium salt, or a similar salt. When compounds of the presentinvention contain relatively basic functionalities, acid addition saltscan be obtained by contacting the neutral form of such compounds with asufficient amount of the desired acid, either neat or in a suitableinert solvent. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable acid additionsalts include those derived from inorganic acids like hydrochloric,hydrobromic, nitric, carbonic, monohydrogencarbonic, phosphoric,monohydrogenphosphoric, dihydrogenphosphoric, sulfuric,monohydrogensulfuric, hydriodic, or phosphorous acids and the like, aswell as the salts derived from relatively nontoxic organic acids likeacetic, propionic, isobutyric, maleic, malonic, benzoic, succinic,suberic, fumaric, lactic, mandelic, phthalic, benzenesulfonic,p-tolylsulfonic, citric, tartaric, methanesulfonic, and the like.

Certain specific compounds ofthe present invention contain both basic and acidic functionalities thatallow the compounds to be converted into either base or acid additionsalts.

Thus, the compounds of the present invention may exist as salts withpharmaceutically acceptable acids. The present invention includes suchsalts. Examples of such salts include hydrochlorides, hydrobromides,sulfates, methanesulfonates, nitrates, maleates, acetates, citrates,fumarates, tartrates (eg (+)-tartrates, (−)-tartrates or mixturesthereof including racemic mixtures, succinates, benzoates and salts withamino acids such as glutamic acid. These salts may be prepared bymethods known to those skilled in the art.

The neutral forms of the compounds are preferably regenerated bycontacting the salt with a base or acid and isolating the parentcompound in the conventional manner. The parent form of the compounddiffers from the various salt forms in certain physical properties, suchas solubility in polar solvents.

In addition to salt forms, the present invention provides compounds,which are in a prodrug form. Prodrugs of the compounds described hereinare those compounds that readily undergo chemical changes underphysiological conditions to provide the compounds of the presentinvention. Additionally, prodrugs can be converted to the compounds ofthe present invention by chemical or biochemical methods in an ex vivoenvironment. For example, prodrugs can be slowly converted to thecompounds of the present invention when placed in a transdermal patchreservoir with a suitable enzyme or chemical reagent.

Certain compounds of the present invention can exist in unsolvated formsas well as solvated forms, including hydrated forms. In general, thesolvated forms are equivalent to unsolvated forms and are encompassedwithin the scope of the present invention. Certain compounds of thepresent invention may exist in multiple crystalline or amorphous forms.In general, all physical forms are equivalent for the uses contemplatedby the present invention and are intended to be within the scope of thepresent invention.

In addition,the phrase “substituted with a[n],” as used herein, means the specifiedgroup may be substituted with one or more of any or all of the namedsubstituents. For example, where a group, such as an alkyl or heteroarylgroup, is “substituted with an unsubstituted C₁-C₂₀ alkyl, orunsubstituted 2 to 20 membered heteroalkyl,” the group may contain oneor more unsubstituted C₁-C₂₀ alkyls, and/or one or more unsubstituted 2to 20 membered hetero alkyls.

The symbol

denotes a point of attachment of a moiety to the remainder of acompound.

The phrase “effective amount” refers to an amount sufficient to attainthe desired result. The phrase “therapeutically effective amount” meansan amount sufficient to produce the desired therapeutic result.Generally the therapeutic result is an objective or subjectiveimprovement of a disease or condition, achieved by inducing or enhancinga physiological process, blocking or inhibiting a physiological process,or in general terms performing a biological function that helps in orcontributes to the elimination or abatement of the disease or condition.

The terms “treat,” “treating” or “treatment,” and other grammaticalequivalents as used herein, include alleviating, abating or amelioratinga disease or condition symptoms, preventing additional symptoms,ameliorating or preventing the underlying metabolic causes of symptoms,inhibiting the disease or condition, e.g., arresting the development ofthe disease or condition, relieving the disease or condition, causingregression of the disease or condition, relieving a condition caused bythe disease or condition, or stopping the symptoms of the disease orcondition, and prophylaxis. The terms further include achieving atherapeutic benefit and/or a prophylactic benefit. By therapeuticbenefit is meant eradication or amelioration of the underlying disorderbeing treated. Also, a therapeutic benefit is achieved with theeradication or amelioration of one or more of the physiological symptomsassociated with the underlying disorder such that an improvement isobserved in the patient, notwithstanding that the patient may still beafflicted with the underlying disorder. For prophylactic benefit, thecompositions may be administered to a patient at risk of developing aparticular disease, or to a patient reporting one or more of thephysiological symptoms of a disease, even though a diagnosis of thisdisease may not have been made.

As used herein, the term “cancer” refers to all types of cancer,neoplasm, or malignant tumors found in mammals, including leukemia,carcinomas and sarcomas.

The term “leukemia” refers broadly to progressive, malignant diseases ofthe blood-forming organs and is generally characterized by a distortedproliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in theblood and bone marrow. Leukemia is generally clinically classified onthe basis of (1) the duration and character of the disease-acute orchronic; (2) the type of cell involved; myeloid (myelogenous), lymphoid(lymphogenous), or monocytic; and (3) the increase or non-increase inthe number abnormal cells in the blood-leukemic or aleukemic(subleukemic). The P₃₈₈ leukemia model is widely accepted as beingpredictive of in vivo anti-leukemic activity.

Pharmaceutical preparations that can be used orally include push-fitcapsules made of gelatin, as well as soft, sealed capsules made ofgelatin, and a plasticizer, such as glycerol or sorbitol. The push-fitcapsules can contain the active ingredients in admixture with fillersuch as lactose, binders such as starches, and/or lubricants such astalc or magnesium stearate and, optionally, stabilizers. In softcapsules, the active compounds may be dissolved or suspended in suitableliquids, such as fatty oils, liquid paraffin, or liquid polyethyleneglycols (PEGs). In addition, stabilizers may be added.

Depending upon the particular condition, or disease state, to be treatedor prevented, additional therapeutic agents, which are normallyadministered to treat or prevent that condition, may be administeredtogether with the inhibitors of this invention. For example,chemotherapeutic agents or other anti-proliferative agents may becombined with the inhibitors of this invention to treat proliferativediseases and cancer. Examples of known chemotherapeutic agents include,but are not limited to, adriamycin, dexamethasone, vincristine,cyclophosphamide, fluorouracil, topotecan, taxol, interferons, andplatinum derivatives.

Other examples of agents the compounds of this invention may also becombined with include, without limitation, anti-inflammatory agents suchas corticosteroids, TNF blockers, IL-1 RA, azathioprine,cyclophosphamide, and sulfasalazine; immunomodulatory andimmunosuppressive agents such as cyclosporin, tacrolimus, rapamycin,mycophenolate mofetil, interferons, corticosteroids, cyclophophamide,azathioprine, and sulfasalazine; neurotrophic factors such asacetylcholinesterase inhibitors, MAO inhibitors, interferons,anti-convulsants, ion channel blockers, riluzole, and anti-Parkinsonianagents; agents for treating cardiovascular disease such asbeta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, diuretics, nitrates, calcium channelblockers, and statins; agents for treating liver disease such ascorticosteroids, cholestyramine, interferons, and anti-viral agents;agents for treating blood disorders such as corticosteroids,anti-leukemic agents, and growth factors; agents for treating diabetessuch as insulin, insulin analogues, alpha glucosidase inhibitors,biguanides, and insulin sensitizers; and agents for treatingimmunodeficiency disorders such as gamma globulin.

These additional agents may be administered separately, as part of amultiple dosage regimen, from the composition. Alternatively, theseagents may be part of a single dosage form, mixed together with thecompound in a single composition.

Dosage forms (compositions) suitable for internal administration containfrom about 1.0 milligram to about 5000 milligrams of active ingredientper unit. In these pharmaceutical compositions, the active ingredientmay be present in an amount of about 0.5 to about 95% by weight based onthe total weight of the composition. Another convention for denoting thedosage form is in mg per meter squared (mg/m²) of body surface area(BSA). Typically, an adult will have approximately 1.75 m² of BSA. Basedon the body weight of the patient, the dosage may be administered in oneor more doses several times per day or per week. Multiple dosage unitsmay be required to achieve a therapeutically effective amount. Forexample, if the dosage form is 1000 mg, and the patient weighs 40 kg,one tablet or capsule will provide a dose of 25 mg per kg for thatpatient. It will provide a dose of only 12.5 mg/kg for a 80 kg patient.

By way of general guidance, for humans a dosage of as little as about 1milligrams (mg) per kilogram (kg) of body weight and up to about 10000mg per kg of body weight is suitable as a therapeutically effectivedose. Preferably, from about 5 mg/kg to about 2500 mg/kg of body weightis used. Other preferred doses range between 25 mg/kg to about 1000mg/kg of body weight. However, a dosage of between about 2 milligrams(mg) per kilogram (kg) of body weight to about 400 mg per kg of bodyweight is also suitable for treating some cancers.

Intravenously, the most preferred rates of administration can range fromabout 1 to about 1000 mg/kg/minute during a constant rate infusion. Apharmaceutical composition of the present invention can be administeredin a single daily dose, or the total daily dosage may be administered individed doses of two, three, or four times daily. The composition isgenerally given in one or more doses on a daily basis or from one tothree times a week.

The present invention is not to be limited in scope by the exemplifiedembodiments, which are intended as illustrations of single aspects ofthe invention. Indeed, various modifications of the invention inaddition to those described herein will become apparent to those havingskill in the art from the foregoing description.

Synthesis of isoxazole containing compounds useful in the compositionsand methods described herein can follow synthetic procedures known inthe art and/or described herein. An exemplary synthetic pathway isprovided in Scheme 2 following.

With reference to Scheme 2, phenylacetylene, optionally substituted withsubstituent R′, can react with a nitroacetic acid ester to provide theisoxazole. This [3+2] cycloaddition reaction is catalyzed by base (e.g.,DBU) to form the nitronate which then undergoes cycloaddition. Removalof the esterified substitutent R is conveniently catalyzed by LiOH andTHF in water to afford the phenylisoxazole acid. Subsequence reaction ofthe phenylisoxazole acid with amine, in the presence of suitablecatalysts (e.g., EDC, HoBT and DIPEA) can afford isoxazoles useful inthe compositions and methods described herein.

Example 62. Commercially Available Compounds

Compounds useful in the compositions and methods described herein mayinclude the following.

Example 63. Screening Procedures

Drug stocks and dilutions. Compounds are prepared as 10 mM stocks foreach compound in DMSO. Dilutions are prepared in a 96-well plate inDMSO. The stock dilutions are as follows: 10 mM, 3 mM, 1 mM, 300 μM, 100μM, 30 M, 10 μM, 3 μM, 1 μM, 300 nM, 100 nM, and 30 nM. Plates are thensealed and stored at −20 C.

Screening with STF293 and SW480STF. HEK STF293 cells are seeded atapproximately 25,000-30,000 cells/well in a 96-well (100 uL volume). Onthe first day, Wnt3a-conditioned media (1:1) will be added along withdiluted compounds (1:100). For example, for 100 ul of STF293 cells, 100ul of Wnt3a-conditioned media and 2 ul of drug will be added to eachwell. The final concentrations should therefore be 100 μM, 30 μM, 10 μM,3 μM, 1 M, 300 nM, 100 nM, 30 nM, 10 nM, 3 nM, 1 nM, and 0.3 nM. On thesecond day, the media is removed and 75 ul of Passive Lysis Buffer(Promega) is added to each well. The plate will be shaken at 130 rpm for15 minutes. For the Steady Glo assay, 45 ul of the lysis is removed andadded to a white 96-well plate containing 45 uL/well of Steady Glosolution (Promega). For the Cell Titer assay, 25 ul of the lysis istransferred to a white 96-well plate containing 25 ul/well of Cell Titersolution (Promega). Both Steady Glo and Cell Titer assays will be readwith a luminescence plate reader. When determining EC₅₀, the Steady Glovalues will be divided by the Cell Titer values to normalize for cellnumber and the resulting values plotted in a dose-response curve.

Example 64. Activity in Reporter Assays

Experimental. All compounds were tested using the human cell line HEKSTF293. This cell line carries a Wnt reporter (TCF/LEF1 promoter), whichdrives expression of the firefly luciferase protein. The level of Wntactivity is directly correlated with the level of luciferase activity(determined using a simple assay). Compounds that inhibit Wnt signalingby reducing luciferase activity in these two cell lines are furthertested biochemically. Biochemical confirmation that compounds inhibitWnt signaling is obtained by immunoblotting for beta-catenin in HEKSTF293 cells and demonstrating that its levels are reduced.

Compounds were prepared as 10 mM stocks for each compound in DMSO.Dilutions were prepared in a 96-well plate in DMSO. The stock dilutionsare as follows: 10 mM, 1 mM, 100 μM M, 10 μM, 100 nM, and 10 nM. Plateswere sealed and stored at −20 C.

HEK STF293 cells were seeded at approximately 25,000-30,000 cells/wellin a 96-well (100 uL volume). On the first day, Wnt3a-conditioned media(1:1) were added along with diluted compounds (1:100). For example, for100 ul of STF293 cells, 100 ul of Wnt3a-conditioned media and 2 ul ofdrug was added to each well. The final concentrations should thereforebe 100 uM, 10 uM, 1 uM, 100 nM, 10 nM, and 1 nM. On the second day, themedia is removed and 75 ul of Passive Lysis Buffer (Promega) is added toeach well. The plate is shaken at 130 rpm for 15 minutes. For the SteadyGlo assay, 45 ul of the lysis is removed and added to a white 96-wellplate containing 45 uL/well of Steady Glo solution (Promega). For theCell Titer assay, 25 ul of the lysis is transferred to a white 96-wellplate containing 25 ul/well of Cell Titer solution (Promega). BothSteady Glo and Cell Titer assays were read with a luminescence platereader. When determining EC50, the Steady Glo values were divided by theCell Titer values to normalize for cell number.

The control CMV driven cell line assay was performed as recited abovefor the STF293 assay except that no Wnt3a-conditioned media was added tothe plated cells and 1 ul of diluted compound was added instead of 2 ul.

Three concentrations were chosen based on the EC50 curves from theSTF293 assay. From the original 10 mM stocks, the following dilutionswere prepared in DMSO and stored at −20 C: 100 uM, 50 uM, and 10 uM.

HEK293 cells were seeded in a 6-well plate at approximately 8.0×10⁵cells (2 mL per well). On the first day, Wnt3a-conditioned media (1:1)and compounds (1:100) were added to the plated cells. The finalconcentrations of compounds were 1 uM, 500 nM, and 100 nM. Vehicle(DMSO) and a Wnt3a-conditioned media plus Vehicle samples were alsoprepared as controls. Lysates were collected (with non-denaturing lysisbuffer) after 24 hours incubation, and protein concentrations determinedby Bradford Assay. Immunoblotting with an anti-beta-catenin antibody(equivalent amounts of protein/lane for each condition) weresubsequently performed to determine beta-catenin levels.
